QUOTE(infernoaswen @ Dec 21 2013, 08:50 PM) Unfortunately that is not possible, to access the playstore you will need to use VPN but when ordering you need to fill in the shipping location & you can only put japan address, it won't accept any other address. I am not sure if there is any decent forwarding company in japan or not but if US had international unit then can use something like comgateway. Also don't forget you need to pay RM100 for SIRIM sticker if kastam holds your device. SIRM sticket is usually if you have a lot of units shipping together. In short if u got a friend in aussie or Japan. Better tell them to buy it and ship it to you. MUCH cheaper then.

If it's caught, you need to pay. I agree that the sellers are charging a premium for the phones, but not everyone has friends/family in google play devices supported countries. If you consider Telstra in AUS selling 16gb for AU$696 outright, RM1550 isn't that much extra to pay in comparison.

This topic have been discussed so many times since v1 & v2. You can refer back to the previous threads. 1 sirim sticker can be used for 3 phone units (thats what forumers said) so if you want to save you can share with 2 person on the sirim cost as well as the shipping. Only if you bring in via hand carry you can escape SIRIM.

QUOTE(Kagekiyo @ Dec 19 2013, 07:28 PM) Speaking of cases, i'm considering purchasing the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Anyone over here using one? The reviews for this case is pretty positive overall from what i've seen so far but it comes at a tad bit steep price of RM100 over here. QUOTE(Hyde`fK @ Dec 19 2013, 07:44 PM) I'm using it now. Pretty solid and sturdy case. Buttons are clicky as well. Will add some bulk to the phone. You can get one from here. http://www.techbug.my/nexus-5-spigen/product-759849.htmlBut if you can get locally RM100 at your place, just grab there. Be reminded that the case do not come with any screen protector. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3074009
